Depending on the data that you look at, Germany's Tax Freedom Day falls either on 22 June as recorded by Deloitte, or 15 July according to the Bund der Steuerzahler Deutschland e.V. (BdSt). But both sites do agree that German tax payers are better off than last year, with Deloitte's Tax Freedom Day falling a day earlier, and the BdSt reporting that the tax burden on individuals has reduced by 0.2%, which are good signs for those contributing to the eurozone's largest economy.
